Wow! Another record low today for Jacksonville! Hit 63 degrees! Almost July.
National Weather Service Climate

[scme5]

in the SE these really were all caused by super low humidity and cooling at night unknown to the SE, maybe massive parts of the country turning to desert is the real story here.

[Patricius Maximus]

That's very interesting - they're still setting record lows? Wow. The high diurnal range works both ways across the heat wave-affected area, though I'm sure there are more record highs being broken than lows. Cambium is right in that we should be hearing much more about this aspect from the media. Not only is it a notable record event (like the highs they always report), it's also should be interesting to anyone that they're having weather more typical of the High Plains than the Southeast.

[Cambium]

Once again, lots of record lows yesterday.

Low 60s in Florida.. Chilly for almost July. Wow. Should be low 70s this time of year.

For my Celsius friends here's how the SouthEast U.S looks.

[Cambium]

And here's the bigger picture... with all the hype about heat, one wouldnt know there's actually a coldwave going on too. If you find out what the normal lows are, you'll understand many areas are actually chilly compared to it.

[Cambium]

Wow, look at that... 20 degree temp change in upper mid west... Must be a chillywave coming through. Temps in the 50sF there. 10-15C.


My point in all this is... we can all pick and choose...

Both sides will always be there but I believe Record Highs and Lows in Winter or Summer should be recognized. Not just the Highs, not just the heatwaves. Essentially they are brainwashing us to thinking all thats happening is warming, when in fact, its not.

[scme5]

This weather simply is not normal, the record lows are due to the dry air covering the country. This is hardly a coldwave though, that is really quite a spin on what is happening.

I will say this is much more pleasant then last year's high 90's with high humidity, I'm not going to be too upset if we stay desert like this summer. I had enough humidity last year.

.

Exactly...and so is a Ridge in the summer with 90s. (yes, 100s are extreme and record breaking but they were localized) Its summer, 90s happen but they spin it all the time. My status once said "The Spin Stops Here"... I might have to put that up with every heat wave they show. LOL
